Great restaurant on field
With a great view of the action on the field.
Poor service
Sorry to say I received the poorest service ever at any airport here. Hopefully they were just having a bad day.
Beautiful approach
This airport has to have one of the most stunning visuals on approach. You have waves crashing up almost at the approach end of either runway. Just beautiful.
Great airport!!
This little airport is the best kept secret in Minnesota and it shouldn't be. Best pilot lounge ever!
Cafe at Yerrington is closed
The next closest restaurant is McDonald's just a short walk up the street outside the airport.
Good paint shop on the field. Had my RV-4 painted there.
Wrong ID?
The FAA uses this id, 7GA6, elsewhere.
This time the FAA is wrong
For some reason, the FAA has this heliport miles away in Lowell Kansas! I'll write to them.
Wrong ID?
The FAA uses this id elsewhere.
Wrong ID?

Homwe of Pelican Airways
I spent a beautiful sunny and humid rainy time at North Perry Airport were I passed my private pilot license in the 90's. I will never forget the British couple being the bosses of that unique flying school...
Often revisited
I love Palm Springs and had many landings at this real hot airfield.
Interesting airport at Wisconsin
I spent a couple of landings at Murmuring springs during my Biannual Review near Necedah Wisconsin; it's worth going again.
Best landing wishes Andreas Krug, Private Pilot, Lufthansa Engineering, Frankfurt, Germany
Wrong ID?
The FAA has a different airport with '45AR', and doesn't have this airport at all.
Wrong id?
There is a different 21PN in the FAA data.
Is this airport for real?
The FAA has assigned this id (1TX0) to another airport (LYTLE, TX) and doesn't have an airport here.
Closed?
Was in FAA data, isn't any more.
Closed?
Another one that disappeared from the FAA data.
Closed?
Another one that used to be in the FAA data, and isn't any more. I'm reluctant to close it, because it's private and a private individual might have their own reasons to not appear in the FAA data any more.

This used to be in the FAA data, but it isn't any more.
Gone?
Not in any recent FAA dataset.
Not in any recent FAA data
Maybe it's closed?
Runways?
FAA data still only shows a 18/36 turf runway, but that sure looks like a paved runway in the satellite photo.
New airport
According to its web site, this is a brand new airport that opened in November 2008. It does not yet appear in the Google satellite imagery.
Nice Airport
I've been to Kane twice in the past two weeks (12/19/08 and 12/25/09-12/31/08). First time was for the day only in my 310 and the second time was in an Arrow. Both times I used Cirrus Flight Operations and both times I was very happy with the service I received as well as the prices for hangers and fuel. Paccair flies 310s out of Cirrus so I had an opportunity to discuss the finer points of the the old girl with freight dogs who have many more hours in them than me.
Wrong ID?
The FAA has "93TX" as a heliport in Fort Worth.
Wrong ID?
This isn't the NJ77 in the FAA data - that one is "Warren County Public Safety Department".

Data problem
This airport doesn't exist in the FAA data (although there is an airport either right here, or very nearby, called Hill Top, with the id "JY43". Plus, there is a different airport with the id "3NJ9" called "Allen Airstrip".
re: Hmmm
I'm reluctant about merging heliports with each-other, since they can sometimes be very close (especially in Urban areas), and these two have different names. I'll keep an eye open for more info.
Hmmm
I added this one from FAA data, and it appears to be in exactly the same point as O01, which is not in the FAA data. They should probably be merged.
Not in FAA data
Not in the FAA data set, but it's obviously there in the satellite picture.
FAA again
The FAA says that this is an airport, not a heliport, with both a 3100x60 turf runway 09/27, and a 50x50 turf helipad.
re: Weird
Well, it definitely looks like an airstrip in the satellite photo. I wonder where that site got the information, if not from the FAA?
re: Weird
Here's some info about Putz Airport: http://airports.aircraftdata.net/airport/24369_01-A/PUTZ.aspx
re: Weird
Thanks, Paul. I've removed the airport codes for now, since they're probably not official.
Does not appear in FAA data
Not in the FAA data, nor is it on the sectional chart.
Weird
This airport does not appear in the FAA data, but has another one "Moore Airpark" (TX54) very near by.
re: Weird
I send them emails when I notice something really strange, like the mix-up with KJUV becoming KXLL.
re: Weird
You know, Paul, if we get a good community organized, we could end up being a source for the FAA. With volunteer contributors, we can mobilize a lot more resources than they can for airport data management.
From Wikipedia
"A short coral runway still remains on the island, but is in disuse and is not maintained."
Another data anomaly
Not marked at closed in the FAA data, shown on the Baltimore-Washington TAC but not on the Washington Sectional.
Weird
It's in the FAA data still, but with a remark "(ARPT STATUS) ARPT CLSD PERMLY." You'd think that since the Google map now shows the subdivision that they'd remove it.

The FAA calls this a heliport, even though it has a 1600 ft long runway.
